  Welcome to this guide about the favourite Venetian food by Venetians, cicchetti!

  If there’s one thing that I’m certain about when it come to travelling to Italy, it is that a trip to Venice can not be considered complete, without trying the cicchetti.

  Visiting Venice requires a lot of energy, and at the end of the day, believe me if I tell you that you’re not the only one to feel like just having a drink and some food.

  Well, that’s why aperitivo exists in Italy! In Venice, aperitivo means eating cicchetti and drinking a glass (two, three, or as many as you want) of wine or Spritz .

  

  What's in this guide?

  Best Cicchetti in Venice

  Before I get your tastebuds too excited though, what even is cicchetti? Better yet, where are the best places to have aperitivo with cicchetti in Venice?

  

  With this guide, I’m going to cover all your burning questions about cicchetti and share my advice as a local , to enjoy this culinary experience to the full.

  This food guide aims to explain what are the famous Venetian snacks called cicchetti , where you can find (and eat) them in Venice and how to order them.

  I suggest you read this fully comprehensive guide all the way until the end to learn my local’s tips to eat cicchetti and some tours with local guides you can join.

  Tours can be great to learn about the tourist attractions in Venice and also some of the most loved Venetian food during your time here. Why? Because you’ll be accompanied by expert guide that knows Venice like the back of their hand.

  What is Cicchetti?

  The cicchetti (pronounced chi-ket-tee) are small savoury bites that Venetians use to eat for a quick lunch, aperitivo or in some occasions, instead of dinner .

  

  They are basically like the Spanish tapas , but prepared with local fresh ingredients. The word ‘cicchetti’ comes from the Venetian dialect and means ‘small quantity’. Cicchetti comes in different shapes and forms.

  Let’s look at some of the most popular Cicchetti in Venice:

  • Crostini (like croutons) topped with cured meats, seasonal vegetables, seafood and fish and cheeses. The most famous cicchetto is the one topped with baccalà mantecato (creamy codfish).
  • Mozzarella in carrozza , fried mozzarella with anchovy or ham.
  • Polpette that are basically meat, fish or vegetarian balls.
  • Battered fried vegetables .
  • Schie and polenta (local lagoon shrimps on top of a slice of grilled polenta) or musetto and polenta (popular choice during winter).
  • Sarde in saor , fried sardines accompanied by an onion-based preparation.

  The cicchetti are considered the best street food in Venice , because they’re prepared with fresh and seasonal ingredients, they only cost a couple of euros (between 2 and 4 euros each) and can be found everywhere around Venice.

  

  The best places to eat cicchetti are the bacari , small taverns with dim lighting, and just a few tables to accommodate customers.

  Locals usually grab a couple of different types of cicchetti, ‘ombra de vin’ (glass of wine) or Venetian spritz and eat cicchetti outside , on the street.

  As a visitor to the Veneto region, it’s important to know that the aperitivo with cicchetti and a glass of wine or spritz is a well-established custom in Venice.

  For locals, it’s the preferred way to socialise at the bar , spend time with friends and family. Don’t be surprised if you can’t find a seat at the best bacaros in Venice.

  Where to eat Cicchetti in Venice?

  There are a lot of great places to eat cicchetti in Venice, and of course, there are taverns that offer higher quality cicchetti than others.

  

  So below I have listed a selection of some of the most loved and/or personally tested bacari where you can eat some of the best cicchetti in Venice:

  • Al Mercà: is one of the most famous bacari in Venice and perfect to sample some cicchetti, strictly in the street! It’s not far from the Rialto market.
  • Cantina Do Mori: a real institution in Venice to try cicchetti and one of the oldest bacaro in Venice. It’s a few backstreets away from the Rialto bridge.
  • Bar All’Arco: try the cicchetti at this small bacaro serving some of the evergreens: crostini con baccalà mantecato and sarde in saor!
  • Rosticceria Gislon: this is not a bacaro like the others but a rotisserie and small restaurant. You can take a seat upstairs at the table or just downstairs where you can find a spot. With a wide selection of cold and hot foods, you can either try some Venetian dishes for an affordable price or try some cicchetti, which are quite nice!
  • Cantine del Vino già Schiavi: it’s a bacaro and wine cellar in the laid-back Dorsoduro neighbourhood, you can choose your preferred cicchetti from the bar counter and eat them accompanied by a glass of wine.
  • Osteria al Squero: this small bacaro has a good selection of cicchetti. My favourite ones, the crostini with artichoke or radicchio cream topped with local cheese and cured meats. The tavern is located just in front of the squero San Trovaso.
  • Al Timon: famous bacaro among university students, it gets quite busy after 5pm. Based in the Cannaregio district, not far from the Jewish Ghetto, this bacaro is an obligatory stop during your cicchetti tour of Venice.
  • Bacareto da Lele: one of the most famous bacaro among locals and tourists and one of the cheapest in town. Aperitivo time is quite busy and it’s not unusual to see a long queue outside. No worries, the service is super fast and you can grab a small glass of wine with a small panino and eat along the ‘fondamenta’, facing the canal.
  • Osteria dai Zemei: this bacaro is based in the San Polo district of Venice. You can sit outdoors on a sunny day and choose your cicchetti inside. You can get classic crostini with different toppings, meat or vegetarian polpette and mozzarella in carrozza.
  • Osteria dal Riccio Peoco: another affordable place to have aperitivo with cicchetti and Aperol Spritz in Campo Santi Apostoli. The special cicchetto here is the panino scrocchio, a salty croissant with butter, garlic flavoured and a special salame spread!

  Just to remind you that Venetians can be seen eating cicchetti during anytime of the day. So feel free to join in, and if you’re really hungry, 6 or 8 should do the trick.

  Venice Cicchetti map

  Below I have added a practical map of Venice with the bacari mentioned above:

  You can save the map to your phone or even print it. That way you can use it as a guide while you are exploring Venice. If you happen to be visiting Venice in winter or you arrive on a wet day, don’t let that deter you from finding the best cicchetti bars.

  Cicchetti in Venice

  I’m a regular at bacari in Venice and after a day of exploring new corners of the city, I love the custom of going to eat some fresh cicchetti accompanied by a Spritz!

  

  These are my tips for eating the best cicchetti in Venice:

  • Eat cicchetti with the Spritz Select, the original Venetian Spritz! I only tried this version recently and I’ll definitely order it again. If you like the bitter taste of the Spritz Campari, go for the Select version.
  • Order cicchetti prepared with seasonal ingredients . For example, in winter, order a cicchetto with a mushroom or radicchio cream. During summer, with cherry tomatoes, peppers and aubergines or courgettes. This way, there’s a much higher chance that you’ll eat high quality cicchetto .
  • Enjoy cicchetti standing or sitting outside the bacaro . Accompany them with an alcoholic drink like the classic Aperol Spritz (or one of its variations) or an ‘ombra’ (in Venetian dialect, a small glass) of red or white wine.
  • Why try cicchetti in one bacaro? Especially when there are several places where you can get different ones, and all around Venice? ‘ Andar per bacari ’ literally means to wander from one bacaro to the other and it’s a typical Venetian costume. Identify a couple of bacari or just pick them along the way, and grab a drink and some cicchetti in each.

  How to order Cicchetti in Venice

  Now that you know what cicchetti are and have a list of bacari to try out, it’s time to look closer at how locals order cicchetti (and how you should do it too!).

  
  • 1. Pop in the bacaro you’ve chosen and check out the selection of cicchetti that you can see from the window of the bar counter. Cicchetti are usually cold snacks, so you’ll be given the one you want there and then. Every bacaro has different small bites, but there are some classic cicchetti you can try if you’re undecided: crostini con baccalà mantecato, sarde in saor and mozzarelle in carrozza . You should always be able to find meat, fish or seafood based cicchetti as well as vegetarian and vegan options .
  • 2. Once you know the cicchetti you want you can either give a go to your Italian and order by reading the label (if there’s one) or just point at the cicchetto you want . Normally bartenders and waiters understand English, no worries! I usually recommend getting an Italian Phrasebook & Dictionary to learn how to order food, ask for directions and much more in Italian.
  • 3. Along with cicchetti, remember to order a drink . You can either have a glass of red or white house wine, a Prosecco wine glass or Spritz. In Venice, you can try different Spritz. If you don’t or can’t drink alcohol, you’re in the wrong place! No, seriously, there are other options. Try the gingerino or crodino for example. They’re both Italian non-alcoholic aperitivo that you can find more or less in every bar.
  • 4. Carry with you cash to pay . You should be able to pay by card in most places but the most traditional bacari only accept cash.
  • 5. Take a seat at the table indoor or outdoor . Locals like having their cicchetti and drink outside, standing whilst chatting so you might want to experience the same to blend in and feel like a local.

  Cicchetti Tours in Venice

  Now that you have a lot more insight about where you need to go to find the best cicchetti in Venice , you might just want to explore the cicchetti scene by yourself.

  

  Or, maybe, you can join a guided tour during which a local guide will take you around the city and give you a thorough explanation of this street food custom.

  Other reasons why tours are worth your time, is that you can meet fellow foodie travellers like yourself and get to know curious facts about the cicchetti and the city.

  This is knowledge you can also apply to other parts of the Veneto Region as well.
